Is this crazy? Or is it me?

PAU, France (AFP) - The mayor of a French village has issued
a decree banning residents from dying in his territory
unless they own a spot in the overcrowded cemetery.

"It is forbidden for any person not having a plot in the cemetery
to die on the territory of the village," the mayor of
the southwestern village of Sarpourenx wrote in a decree
that warns of "severe punishment" for offenders.

Mayor Gerard Lalanne told AFP he had taken the radical measure
to protest against a legal ruling preventing him
from enlarging the burial ground in the village of 260 people.

"The first dead person to come along,
I'll send him to the state's representative," he said.

Lalane said he had been inspired by the mayor of
another French village, Cugnaux, who had also
outlawed death as a protest last year and who thus won
the right to enlarge the village's cemetery.

D'oh!

Not normally something we have a
choice in...dying.

Its a bit like it used to be illegal to
attempt suicide in th uk.
I guess if thats what your trying
to do, fear of a conviction should
you fail is hardly a deterrent.

I dont know who thinks them upconfused

I agree...this is totally uncalled for...how is a person supposed to stop themselves from dying????

It sounds as if someone has let power go to their head if you ask me.

Inconsiderate bastards!!! How dare the villagers come round when there about to drop dead in his back garden.

Think of it this way, if you have a cat and it leaves prsents outside the back door for you that you find in the morning, just imagine what its like if you have a pile of 8 dead pensioners in your back garden every time you get up in the morning.

I don't blame him he must be furious if all the time he wakes up to piles of expired geriatrics on his lawn and in the back garden.

As least have the manners to drive to a hotel outside of town before croaking.Now i just be he bought his wife some woollen socks, a how to cook english food recipe book, and a copy of the lovers guide for xmas.

He's brave i'll say that for himblushing

I'm shutting my side gate now before anyone wants to come and expire next to my back door.Yes, i've seen plenty buy it before their time.

I must have more lives than a cat, i even i swear was nearly hit by a lightening bolt in my own back garden while digging.

I took a break, took one step from the fork i plunged into the earth and bang!! The area lit up, i flinched, i saw the cat blow up into a ginger furball and run for the hills.

The neibours came out of the houses and looked over the fence to see me standing there, looking at the smouldering pitchfork.

I took that as a gentle hint that someone up there wanted me to stop wasting my time in the garden.

Strangely, the next day when i got up, i had a suntan.It's amazing what can come from a clear sky without clouds......

"severe punishment"

I guess they could turn you into a cyborb so you live forever?

grind you up into dogfood?

Turn your body over to local hospital for total bone recovery?

throw you out into the woods to br food for wild animals?

force family to put you down the garbage disposal?

run a special on hamburger at the local wal-mart?

turn your body over to local worm farmers?confused
